Nitrogen is an inert gas it maintains a proper ratio of oxygen requred by living organisms if oxygen is in higher ratio the respiratory organs become oxidized and more oxygen in blood is harmful as low concentration of oxygen.

Why is nitrogen gas more than oxygen gas in the air?
oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration bt nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation ths occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc ths means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is mor then nitrogen
Does your body need more than six elements?
I believe oxygen carbon hydrogen nitrogen and sulfur :) think bxtch
What is lighter oxygen or nitrogen?
Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Why is the bond between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule is more polar than the bond between hydrogen and nitrogen in a ammonia molecule?
Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen does, so when sharing electrons with hydrogen, the sharing is more uneven in the case of oxygen than it is with nitrogen. Oxygen, in other words, will attract electrons more strongly than nitrogen does and therefore will wind up with a more negative charge (hydrogen, which supplies the extra electrons to the oxygen, has a correspondingly higher positive charge).
Why do most materials produce oxides rather than nitrides?
Oxygen is much more reactive than nitrogen, somewhat more common than nitrogen, and tends to form much more stable compounds than nitrogen.
How many Time more nitrogen than oxygen make up air?
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).
Is nitrogen more reactive than oxygen?
No, oxygen is the more reactive element!
Why did god made nitrogen more abundant than oxygen?
oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration but nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation thus occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc thus means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is more then nitrogen ,if there was more oxygen then it would lead to a blast every time there was a spark

Will nitrogen and oxygen be identical?
No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.

How much more abundant is nitrogen and oxygen in the air?
About 20% more than Oxygen at around 50%.
Why is it that the nitrogen have greater amount than oxygen?
nitrogen is lighter than oxygen
Which two gases are which you exhale more than inhale?
Carbon dioxide and water vapour.
